You can never question the toughness and leadership of Michael Crocker. A player who always led from the front, Crocker did everything at 100% which is probably why we always saw him bandaged and bruised on field.
A representative player with both State and Country, Crock never backed down irrespective of his opponent. He played a total of 204 NRL Games, 13 Origins with Queensland and six Tests for Australia. Coming through the Melbourne Storm as more of a Utility forward early on in his career, Crocked had the ability to play both Hooker and Second Row before finding a home at Lock with South Sydney.
A true hard man of the game and larrikin off-field, Crock was well-respected from teammates and opposition. Does he make your Menulog Team of the Decade? Vote now!
